feature suggestion -- extending LyX interface
This is perhaps a stretch. But a while back I asked if there were plans to support having documents open in multiple panes (I'm excited about this feature!). It occurs to me that perhaps the same feature could be extended to include showing another application in a pane? Something like the docked apps that many WMs support? The reason: I often add bib entries as I write. I often forget the keys. Consequently, I have to keep an editor open along with LyX. But I like LyX to be full-screen. So I have to make a little space, hang the editor barely over the edge of LyX, and switch between. I just gets plain awkward, and it clutters up my desktop! So many bib editors work 'seamlessly' with LyX... providing facility for extending LyX's interface 'seamlessly' makes sense. And I imagine it would be useful for other, non bib-related applications, which I haven't discovered I need yet. Just a thought-- I can guess that it would be complicated to do, and there might not seem to be a great need for it. It simply would be nice, adding to the flexibility of an already superb piece of software!

Here's another way if you're on Linux: Install a window manager that supports multiple desktops, like icewm plus its configuration tool icepref. You can have, for example, tkbibtex (which supports the .lyxpipe) on one desktop by default, LyX on a second, and switch by a key combination between the two desktops. You don't even have to copy and paste a bibliograhy entry from tkbibtex, just hit the "c" key to have it inserted into LyX on the other desktop, or wherever it's running. The .lypipe (check your ~/.lyx/lyxrc file to activate it) is definitely one of my favourite features! -- Andre Berger[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
